Numerical solutions of 2-D steady incompressible flow over a backward-facing step, Part I: High Reynolds number solutions
نویسنده
چکیده
Numerical solutions of 2-D laminar flow over a backward-facing step at high Reynolds numbers are presented. The governing 2-D steady incompressible Navier–Stokes equations are solved with a very efficient finite difference numerical method which proved to be highly stable even at very high Reynolds numbers. Present solutions of the laminar flow over a backward-facing step are compared with experimental and numerical results found in the literature. 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Simulation of Steady, Laminar Flow Over a Backward-Facing Step
A 2D Navier-Stokes solver was developed to simulate steady,laminar flow over a backward-facing step of height h. The step expansion ratio=1/2 and the flow at the step was assumed to be fully developed, laminar channel flow. The Reynolds number for this flow was defined as Re=Uh/ν. The 2D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations was solved in generalized curvilinear coordinates using artificial co...
متن کاملAn Enhanced Flux Treatment in Solving Incompressible Flow in a Forward-Facing Step
The aim of this paper is to give a detailed effect of several parameters such as step height, Reynolds number, contraction ratio, and temperature difference between the entrance and solid boundaries, of a forward-facing step. An accurate length of separation and reattachment zones are achieved. A finite-volume method (FVM) has been developed to study incompressible flow in a forward-facing step...
متن کاملA posteriori error estimation of steady-state finite element solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations by a subdomain residual method
We present a subdomain residual method, as well as its mathematical basis, for estimating errors in steady-state finite element solutions of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The estimated errors are obtained by solving a series of local problems in which velocity boundary condition is used wherever the exact traction boundary condition is not available. An iterative procedure similar...
متن کاملExternal and Internal Incompressible Viscous Flows Computation using Taylor Series Expansion and Least Square based Lattice Boltzmann Method
The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has recently become an alternative and promising computational fluid dynamics approach for simulating complex fluid flows. Despite its enormous success in many practical applications, the standard LBM is restricted to the lattice uniformity in the physical space. This is the main drawback of the standard LBM for flow problems with complex geometry. Several app...
متن کاملIvestigation of Entropy Generation in 3-D Laminar Forced Convection Flow over a Backward Facing Step with Bleeding
A numerical investigation of entropy generation in laminar forced convection of gas flow over a backward facing step in a horizontal duct under bleeding condition is presented. For calculation of entropy generation from the second law of thermodynamics in a forced convection flow, the velocity and temperature distributions are primary needed. For this purpose, the three-dimensional Cartesian co...
